My 2nd daughter, Skye Anees, was born last night 10-22-07 at 10 pm after a 13 hour labor! I went in to the hospital for an induction,but just had my MW break my water. I only progressed one cm for 6 hours, so we went on to a very, very low dose of pitocin. Things got quite intense after that, so they brought the pitocin down to pretty much nothing. I really wanted something for pain at that point, and was BEGGING for an epidural, but my MW and Doula (LOVE THEM) suggested a regular pain killer instead. It allowed me to feel the contractions just the same but it allowed me to rest a bit. Well, it was a good thing...during that time I was on the pain medicine I went from 5 cms to 10 in an hour! I told the nurse that I thought it was time for the MW to come, and pushed Skye out 15 minutes later! I will add a link with pics another day, Im still in the hospital and they dont allow me to use certain websites.
